Veteran's Day/Armistice Day.

Why do we honor Veterans Day?

The simple answer is we do it to honor the men and woman who served for our country.
To honor the missing in action,one's that died at war ,and to the ones who came home.

Did you know that Veterans day was once called Armistice Day? Armistice Day was.....
"to mark the end of World War I hostilities at 11 a.m., Nov. 11, 1918 -- which was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It first was named Armistice Day through an act of Congress in 1926, though it didn’t become a national holiday for a dozen more years."
